I’ve been enjoying this stunner for a few weeks now but I keep forgetting to post a SMTB. DK just posted a video of her that reminded me.

You can read a bit more about my journey in the colored gemstone forum Thread 'Is this big enough? (New sapphire)’

Stats: 13.82 ct yellowish orange sapphire with 2ctw G color vs clarity old european cut diamond halo. Crafted in solid platinum with 18k yellow gold prongs by the talented David Klass. She’s a hefty 16.7 grams of perfection on my size 5.25 finger

There is a bit of a backstory about the sapphire which you can read about in my other thread. To summarize: I was initially concerned that the sapphire might be diffused. I sent it to GIA and thankfully got the results I was hoping for! No diffusion! I’m absolutely thrilled with the finished ring! It took my breath away when I opened it and I’ve pretty much been wearing it non stop ever since. I did notice that one of the OEC diamonds has a larger culet than the others. I thought for a split second to ask DK to switch it out but I quickly dismissed that thought. It’s my favorite one and it adds character. I also was nervous about the weight when designing this ring and I’m happy to report that I LOVE the weight of the ring. It’s heavy in a good way and I feel like a million bucks when I’m wearing it. I absolutely adore this ring. It will become a cherished family heirloom.

DK’s video
I haven’t taken a ton of good pictures because I’ve been to busy but I’ll attach a few that I do have including DK’s glamour shots.

Gorgeous! Thank you for sharing the pictures. It’s a fabulous piece. I was crossing fingers for you.
 
HI:

Amazing!!!!

cheers--Sharon
 
Fabulous stone! Magnificent setting! I especially like the creative and sculptural 'repeated W' setting of the diamonds that you see in the side view.
 
I saw this on DK's Instagram, and I knew it had to belong to a PSer!
It's so beautiful, I love it!
 
Wow, this is amazing! I love orange sapphires and they don’t get enough love! It really is the perfect cheerful, juicy orange! where did you get the sapphire from?
 
It’s so similar to mine (looks like they used my cads for your base cads) so like, obviously I think it’s perfection. I am glad the stone was not diffused
 
Saw this on DK’s Insta. I utterly LOVE this. The colour. The size. It’s utterly awesome and I’m mega jealous. Congratulations!
 
Wowsers, what a beautiful honker! The colour is truly amazing!
 
i dont use this word very often
Magnificent
 
What a beauty! She’s a big mama jama and I love every bit of her. :kiss2:
 
Beautiful juicy orange perfection and I love the yellow gold prongs.
 
Saw this on instagram. Love that beautiful color and those tiny prongs. Wear it in good health.
 
It's so gorgeous and reminds me of a beautiful sunny Autumn day. :kiss2:
 
Wowwww! She’s a queen!
 
Outrageous! The color of that sapphire is just so amazing, and what a great setting.
 
Amazing! Love how it looks on your hand and hoping for more pics, pretty please.
 
How fresh and lovely! Congratulations!
 
Fireball!
 
It’s really stunning. What a show stopper! I know I’d do a double er…triple take if I saw you in the wild :lol: Enjoy!
 
This is delicious! I love it!
 
Beautiful!
 
Thank you everyone for all of your kind words. Here are few more pics including one of the sapphire loose and a pic of her reflecting light onto my finger like a little flashlight. The last one is reflections from a red umbrella when I was out to lunch yesterday. I thought it was so cool. 371CCB3A-0F6F-499C-A79A-68EBF042714E.jpeg

Thank you! Im loving the finger coverage. I was compensating for my DSS but now it’s the only thing I want to wear and my diamonds are suddenly even smaller. DK did source them.
 
Wow!!!! :kiss2::kiss2::kiss2: it’s like having a portable sun with you!
